Randy Orton comes out and congratulates Jeff Hardy on rediscoverign himself and he's back on top of that pedestal and appreciates Jeff for giving him all the credit but Orton says he's not finished because this version of Jeff Hardy is what he's going to get rid of and leave Hardy in a heap of bones in the middle of the ring.
